Hi, I have a bunch of .avi tv shows on my mac and was just wondering how to play them on my iPod Video. How do i import them into iTunes?

Thanks everybody!

P.S. I'm kinda new at this!

I'm having the same problem! As far as I'm aware it's hard work unless you pay for software...As far as I'm aware.

Use something like iSquint or ffmpegx to convert them to .mp4 files and you're all set.

I think they even have a setting you can choose when you're converting them, to make them specifically for the iPod.

This is what i use to convert. It converts pretty much anything into anything, and gives more control than isquint. Its from the same company, kinda like a higher level isquint. Anyone know why apple doesn't support avi? Always wondered that.

I now have iSquint, but what do I set the quality to, Standard or High?

Also, do i enable H.264 encoding if i want to watch on iPod? and if I convert these avi files, will they still retain the same quality if i want to watch them on my mac?

Thanks

pick normal quality and pick H.264. and you should check out VisualHub.

Normal/High-H.264-Optimise for TV on iSquint will produce 640x480 files that are playable on iPod and will look decent on your computer screen/TV too.
